FILLERS AND ISOLATED NUTRIENTS

Most horse feeds contain filler foods such as soybean hulls, peanut hulls, beet pulp and rice bran. These fillers foods are cheap and add bulk to the feed. Horses wouldnevernaturally eat these ingredients and they do not provide a balanced nutrient profile. Lacking the necessary nutrients, standard horse feeds will then have to add back in isolated synthetic vitamins and minerals to make it a balanced feed.

WHOLE FOODS

Wild Fed Horse Feed is made from whole foods: grasses grains, seeds and herbs, all of which are a part of a horse’s natural diet. No other product on the market contains a whole foods based feed, which has been formulated and laboratory tested to meet all of your horse’s daily nutritional needs without having to add in synthetic or isolated nutrients.

OMEGA PROFILES + INFLAMMATION

Most standard horse feeds are rich in Omega 6’s having a 1:8 ratio of omega 3’s to 6’s, which promote inflammation. Wild Fed Horse Feed is rich in omega 3’s, which are anti-inflammatory. Having a more balanced omega profile provides an anti-inflammatory food, which is critical for longevity and quality of life, especially for older horses.

All things considered it is our opinion that Wild Fed provides your horse with the best, most natural, horse nutrition on the market today!

WILD FED HORSE FEED IS…

FREE OF CORN

Acidic pH creates a more hostile environment for the beneficial or “good” bacteria and a good environment for the pathogenic or “bad” bacteria

FREE OF SOY

Many feeds include soy which, is not only a food that horses would never naturally eat but it also contains natural toxins and anti-nutrients:

Soy contains enzyme inhibitors that disrupt protein digestion

Soy contains haemagglutanin which promotes blood clotting

Soy contains goitrigens that can contribute to the formation of goiters, which older horses are particularly susceptible to developing

Soy is high in phytates, which bind certain minerals such as zinc and calcium, making them less absorbable.

FREE OF SWEETENERS

Sweeteners such as molasses are a by-product of the sugar industry and are added to feeds to make them more palatable. Horses, like humans, are susceptible to sugar dysregulation disorders and should avoid refined sugars or any additional sugars in the diet. Refined sugars have been stripped of some of their nutrient values during processing and actually steal nutrients from the body in order to be utilized.

FREE OF INDUSTRY BY-PRODUCTS

Soybean meal, wheat middling’s, peanut hulls, dried beet pulp and rice bran are all by-products of other industries and are an inexpensive way to add bulk to feeds, but are not foods that horses would naturally eat. They lack the full spectrum of nutrients required by horses. Additionally, many of these feedstuffs are inflammatory, difficult to digest, and high in sugar and starch.

FREE OF FLAX

Flax is a wonderful source of omega 3’s which are anti-inflammatory, but unfortunately once ground, flax goes rancid very quickly. Rancid fats cause oxidation of cells leading to free radicals and early cell death.

This is why we use chia instead of flax in our formula.

CONTAINS TRACE MINERALS

Because this is a whole-foods based feed, we are not adding isolated nutrients. This feed contains many trace minerals, not found in traditional feeds, which are important for optimal cellular functioning.

CONTAINS CHIA SEEDS

Chia is an ancient superfood, extremely rich in Omega 3’s, protein, anti-oxidants, as well as many other nutrients such as calcium, manganese and phosphorus. In addition to its high nutrient value, chia aids in digestion, stabilizes blood sugar levels and boosts energy and stamina. Chia has a long shelf life, over 10 times that of flax, and unlike flax does not need to be ground to be digested.

CONTAINS HERBS

Horses naturally graze on certain herbs such as dandelion. These herbs provide them with additional nutrients and contain medicinal qualities such as strengthening liver function and alleviating digestive upset and achy joints
